saugatak Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Asked beforehttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=57991No one really knows but the guess is Win2k3.P.S. The thread say Win3k, I presume you mean Win2k3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os2fan2 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 i tried them both out, i could not spot the difs. they're both faster than win2k, though.i now have my nt4 install use the nt4 sp6 on first load, and the sp6 version is modified to be the 2k3 ones.win2k now sets up the win2k3 ones as well.incidently, this is the only reason i suspect you have to install nt4 first. if you're handy at replacing ntldr etc, you pretty can install win2k3 first and work backwards (or in any order you want!)W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalo Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Opps meant 2k3.I'll give them a try see how it goes.. Thanks for the reply.As for other compatible files from newer Os's, which ones are known/might work on a 2k installation?

Crash&Burn Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hey Saugatak...Which SP did you download for your ntldr ntdetect files? I thought it was mentioned in another thread here, but its not in either of the NTLDR threads. was XP's in SP2 and 2k3's in SP1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Windows 2003 SP1 has the files in question. licensing issues are left to the reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saugatak Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) Win2k3 latest NTDETECT.COM and ntldr is in SP1.WinXP NTDETECT.COM and ntldr is in SP2. Not sure if they're the latest versions though, might have been updated in hotfix.Re whether it's legal or not, if M$ lets you download it for free, it's legal enough.

Crash&Burn Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 ...Licensing...*chuckle* Can't be any worse than mixing 98 and ME w/ the odd XP file It'd likely even be possible to use even more XP files in 98, except MS hardcodes the dll's to refuse to run, or check bootsector info. Probably what I like about 2000, it feels and looks like a snappier 98 hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
